Maybelline Foundation - Brown

The foundation contains Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid, as part of its 90% skincaring base, designed to help plump and brighten the skin over time.

The foundation is formulated for 'All Day Wear', typically meaning it should maintain its coverage and finish for approximately 24 hours, though individual wear time can vary based on skin type and environmental factors.

SPF 20 provides a basic level of protection against incidental sun exposure. For significant or prolonged sun exposure, it is recommended to use a separate, broad-spectrum sunscreen with a higher SPF.

This foundation offers buildable coverage that can help to visually minimize the appearance of blemishes. However, it is not formulated as a medicated acne treatment.

Refer to the shade guide and consider your skin's undertone. Shade 118 is described within the 'Brown' color family, suggesting a warm, medium tone.

While the formula includes beneficial skincare ingredients, individual reactions can vary. It's always recommended to patch-test new products if you have sensitive skin.

The foundation provides a radiant, glowing finish.

Ensure your skin is properly moisturized and prepped before application. Shake the bottle well and use a clean applicator (brush, sponge, or fingers). Apply in thin layers and blend thoroughly.

You may be using too much product. Try applying a thinner layer and building coverage only where needed. Ensure you are using the correct shade to avoid an unnatural look.

For oilier skin types or a less dewy look, try applying a mattifying primer beforehand or lightly setting the T-zone with a translucent powder.

Consider exchanging for a different shade if possible. You can also try mixing two shades to achieve a better match or using a compatible concealer for targeted adjustments.
